IBM Domino 9.0 Social Edition Administrator Help

CONFIGURING

Creating the widget catalog
The widgets catalog centrally houses available widgets. The widget catalog is an XPages application.

About this task

Administrators and power uses can use the supplied catalog template to create a widgets catalog on a server. The catalog is an IBM® Notes® application. A local copy of the catalog is created on the user's client system and periodically updated based on whatever replication schedule is set for Normal priority applications.

Procedure

1. Obtain the widget catalog template (toolbox.ntf) installed with the IBM Domino® server.

2. Create the widget catalog, for example named toolbox.nsf, using the supplied toolbox.ntf template.

3. Assign ACLs to control access rights to the catalog application for administrators, power users, and end users.

Administrators and power users need read and write access to the catalog.

Administrators must be granted the [Admins] role in the catalog Access Control List (ACL). Administrators also need one of the following access rights to the catalog:

Manager
Designer
Editor

End users may not be set up to browse and access the catalog directly but rather to obtain widget actions automatically by way of their membership in specific widget categories. End users, if they are not allowed to create and configure widgets, need Reader access to the catalog; otherwise it is recommended that end users are granted Author access to the catalog.

4. Once you have created the catalog, optionally create an initial set of categories for the catalog.

There are two types of predefined categories in the catalog -- administrator categories and categories. Both of these categories are defined in the

Administration/Keyword

view. Administrator categories are named

ADMIN-Categories

, while the other categories keyword is named

Categories

Note: You can assign policies or preferences to designate user access to the catalog.

5. Enable the Toolbox Sweeper agent, which is a scheduled agent set to run against new and modified documents. This agent ensures that Widget documents are properly created and populated; if a problem is found the offending document is removed from the user views, is placed in the Administration/Document Queue, and an e-mail is sent to the document author informing him of the problem. Enable the Sweeper agent by selecting View -> Agents, highlighting the Toolbox Sweeper agent, and then clicking Enable. When prompted for which server to run the agent on, choose the server where you have deployed the catalog.
